I'm a little unclear about how the manifest parsing is supposed to work, so I'm not sure this is the correct solution.

To reproduce the bug, use a "meta" manifest file that loads both the pyperformance suite and the pyston python-macrobenchmarks suite (as we do in our infra for the faster-cpython project):

[includes]
<default>
~benchmarking/BENCH/repositories/pyston-benchmarks/benchmarks/MANIFEST

There seems to be two bugs:

Both pyperformance and pyston have an empty [group default] entry. I'm not 100% sure what that is supposed to do in practice, but it causes the "a group named default was already defined" error to raise. Here, I just make the groups concatenate instead.

The pyston manifest has:

[group all]
-json

It seems like this should be valid, but the code here disallows any mention of all.

Again, I have no idea if this fix is correct, but it does at least let these two suites of benchmarks combine correctly.

if name == 'all':
raise ValueError('a group named "all" is not allowed ("all" is reserved for selecting the full set of declared benchmarks)')

This should still be the case. So the Pyston benchmarks' manifest needs to be fixed.

if entries is None:
if name in self._raw_groups:
return
self._raw_groups[name] = None
elif name in self._raw_groups and self._raw_groups[name] is not None:
raise ValueError(f'a group named {name} was already defined')
self._raw_groups[name].extend(list(entries) if entries else [])

This rule should apply for a single manifest, with the exception only for includes (which should be merged like you are doing). I expect the logic for distinguishing between the two cases is lacking, either in `_parse_manifest() below or in the code that consumes its output.
